I am really trying to blog about my summer. I can now understand why it was so difficult for Sharon and Gene to get going and keep it up. I think the secret is to just do it. So here I sit. My head is killing me - I have had this same headache for about a week. Seems to come each evening. I take some aleve and go to bed. Wake up and it is gone. Then returns sometime during the late afternoon. Hope it stops returning. It feels like a vise is squeezing my temples.
Anyway. My baby boy just turned 19 years old. July 12Th. I haven't seen him yet. He told me he got his first tattoo. Surprising it took this long- though I am very happy it did. Says it is on his chest. One of the better places to put one- in my opinion. I am anxious to see how it looks. That body of his that I took such gentle care of for so long- is no longer under my jurisdiction. Oh I hope he doesn't turn his body into a place to put whatever artwork he is "into" at a particular moment. Just being a mom.
I can't believe he will be leaving for school in California in about 27 days. I am going to miss him so much. But at the same time I am so happy and proud that he is doing this. I am sure he will learn much- just from being so far away from family and friends.
The things that bring me happiness. My son. My husband. and time spent camping.
Next camping trip is the weekend after this. We are heading to Christmas in July at Range Pond in Poland, Maine. We did that weekend last year with Sharon & Gene and Jessica and we brought Bailey and the guys went fishing and the kids had an absolute blast with all the Christmas activities. They have an awesome weekend for the kids. So this year- we are all going, Tammy & Tom, and Jason & Dawn and all the kids. Hope the weather is nice. I hope the weather is at least NOT RAINING. Please. I would like to have some summer this year.
It seems I live to be at a campground. It is just so peaceful and relaxing. It is especially nice that we camp with lots of family too. I can't wait for Sharon and Gene get back. Sometimes it is really nice to have some of "my side" of the family with us. Ok, it is really nice when "my side" is there.
WELL... that's it for today. I am going to try and post something each day or two.
Weather today, sunny 75-80 and just BEAUTIFUL!
It is nice to see you sticking with the blog, and the cool thing is that you don't have to be camping to do it. The campground at Range Pond was very nice for us too. We hope you have as much fun and more this year. Hope too that your headaches don't hang around.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really nice picture of Tim. Hard to believe he is 19. He is going to get a kick out of the waves out here in California.
Was this Gene or Sharon? I suspect it was Gene. Am I correct? Also- if you really want to ....you could join us and sleep in our RV. the second weekend we are at Naples- maybe the weather will be great. The weekend is Aug 21 22 23. if you are up to it. I know you might still be recovering from "the trip"

Yes, you are correct. Geno wrote it and failed to sign his John Hancock. And I knew when I read it that you would so know it was not me.
ReplyDeleteGene said count us in. Alie won't be going anywhere for a long time when she lands her feet at Nature's Way. So, count her out. We can bunk with you sounds good.
How are your headaches?
